UAV attack on Kremlin sets dangerous precedent

Sputnik quoted expert Alexander Mikhailov, head of the Russian Bureau of Political -Military Analysis, as saying that the drone attack on the Kremlin showed that those behind it were related to international terrorism.

According to Mr. Mikhailov, with the support of Western allies, the Ukrainian government was able to carry out a terrorist attack on the Kremlin on the night of May 3 (local time). The way they did this was quite simple using current technology, by purchasing UAVs available on the market, attaching explosives to them and setting up flight paths for them.

Expert Mikhailov said that the attack seemed to be a trick by Kiev to boost the fighting spirit of its soldiers in the face of current difficulties on the front line.

“It is important for Ukraine to show its Western allies that the counterattack they have been waiting for is underway. The plan is a continuous attack on various targets, the first step of which could be a UAV attack on the Kremlin,” Mikhailov said.

From a military perspective, the attack on the night of May 3 did not cause too much damage to people or infrastructure. But it still helped the Kiev government achieve its propaganda goals.

According to Yevgeny Buzhinsky, former director of the international cooperation department at the Russian Ministry of Defense , the attack on the Kremlin on the night of March 5 did not have too great an impact when the drones were shot down.

“Information warfare is one thing, but direct attacks on infrastructure are a completely different story,” Mr. Buzhinsky stressed.

Experts agree that Russia should take a clear stance on the attack from the highest level and inform the international community that the terrorist attack on the Kremlin has set a dangerous precedent for the world.

“It is necessary to inform the other side, first of all Washington, that drones can also ‘visit’ the White House. This is a very serious problem related to international terrorism and those who are trying to cover it up,” Mikhailov said.

Mr. Mikhailov did not rule out the possibility that Western countries would try to downplay the incident or turn a blind eye to the terrorist attack. That is why Russia needs to discuss this issue with many partners and key powers, as well as with BRICS, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) and other international organizations.

“We should show our partners that similar attacks can happen in Beijing, in New Delhi and many other big cities,” Mikhailov said.
